I’m going there.” Eva pointed her finger to the sky and said, “To the bright spirits.” Uncle Tom’s heart almost stopped. He looked at Eva. She didn’t look well: she was often tired, her breath was short, she had a cough, and she was getting very thin. Miss Ophelia noticed this too, and she tried to tell Eva’s father, St Clare. “Stop that!” St Clare said. “Don’t you see that the child is only growing up? It’s what happens to children of her age.” “But she has that cough!” “That’s nothing. Maybe she has a little cold,” St Clare said. Eva’s health got even worse. She became very weak and she could hardly leave the house, so St Clare sent her to the hospital. In a week or two, it seemed that Eva’s health improved greatly. St Clare was happy and he was sure Eva would get better. But Miss Ophelia was not so sure, and neither was Eva herself. One afternoon, when St Clare called Eva to give her a present, “Papa, I am going to leave you soon.” said Eva, and she started crying. “Oh, my dear!” said St Clare, “you’re just tired and a little weak because of the illness. You will be perfectly fine soon.” “No, Papa,” said Eva, “I won’t get better. I am not sad. I’m sorry for you, Papa, and my friends, but I want to go!” “Why do you want to go? Are you unhappy, Eva?” “Oh, I feel sad for our slaves (奴隶): they are all good and kind to me. I wish, Papa, they were all free.” “Don’t you think we treat them well?” said St Clare. “But what will happen to them if anything happens to you? There are very few men like you, Papa. Some people buy the husbands but not the wives, some people buy the mothers and sell the children. What terrible things people do! Papa, isn’t there any way to make all slaves free?” “Slavery is a very bad thing, but I don’t know what to do about it.” said St Clare. “Promise me that Uncle Tom will be free as soon as I’m asleep.” said Eva.   ……. —Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 54.

Fuchun pastry (面食) Fuchun teahouse lies in an alley (巷子) in Yangzhou. Although it is not located in the very heart of the city, it attracts a large army of customers to come every year. Built in 1885, Fuchun teahouse was a flower shop and became a place for people to drink tea then. It started to offer different kinds of pastries until the owner introduced them, which not only perfectly matched the traditional Chinese tea, but also represented a kind of artistry (技艺) from the kitchen.

Many people, including archaeologists (考古学家) and researchers, work hard to take care of the Mogao Grottoes and learn more about them. Fan Jinshi is one of them. People call her the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. Fan Jinshi was born in Beijing in 1938. Her father was a graduate of Tsinghua University and had a strong interest in Chinese classical art and culture. So Fan had great love for Chinese culture when she was young. She studied in the archaeology department in Peking University from 1958 to 1963. Then she started working at Dunhuang Academy and has worked there ever since. Fan spends her lifetime not only saving the invaluable treasures in Dunhuang but also introducing them to the world. Furthermore, after a 30-year period of hard work, Fan and her team have made a digital preservation system (数字保护系统)—“Digital Dunhuang”—including digital photo shooting, color correction, photo gallery and more. This may be one of the only effective methods to preserve the Mogao Grottoes. Until recently, the resource of “Digital Dunhuang” has enjoyed more than seven million visits from around the world on the Internet. In 2018, Fan earned the title of “Reform Pioneer over the 70-year history of New China” for her contributions to cultural preservation. On May 4, 2023, Fan Jinshi returned to Peking University and brought back 10 million RMB donations to set up the Fan Jinshi Education Fund (基金会) to support the research of Dunhuang Studies. “Money should be spent in the right way. People cannot only think of themselves,” she said. “Hopefully, the setting of the Fund can help Dunhuang Studies at university, so it can raise cultural confidence and strength.” 62. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage? A. Fan’s interest in archaeology came from her mother. B. Digital Dunhuang is very popular on the Internet. C. Fan set up a foundation to support Dunhuang Studies. D. Fan devotes her lifetime to environmental protection. 63. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. What Fan did for preserving Dunhuang culture.

One afternoon, when St Clare called Eva to give her a present, “Papa, I am going to leave you soon.” said Eva, and she started crying. “Oh, my dear!” said St Clare, “you’re just tired and a little weak because of the illness. You will be perfectly fine soon.” “No, Papa,” said Eva, “I won’t get better. I am not sad. I’m sorry for you, Papa, and my friends, but I want to go!” “Why do you want to go? Are you unhappy, Eva?” “Oh I feel sad for our slaves (奴隶): they are all good and kind to me. I wish, Papa, they were all free.” “Don’t you think we treat them well?” said St Clare. “But what will happen to them if anything happens to you? There are very few men like you, Papa. Some people buy the husbands but not the wives, some people buy the mothers and sell the children. What terrible things people do! Papa, isn’t there any way to make all slaves free?” “Slavery is a very bad thing, but I don’t know what to do about it.” said St Clare. “Promise me that Uncle Tom will be free as soon as I’m asleep.” said Eva.   ……. —Taken from Uncle Tom’s Cabin 54.

It is famous for the Mogao Grottoes which were listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Many people, including archaeologists (考古学家) and researchers, work hard to take care of the Mogao Grottoes and learn more about them. Fan Jinshi is one of them. People call her the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. Fan Jinshi was born in Beijing in 1938. Her father was a graduate of Tsinghua University and had a strong interest in Chinese classical art and culture. So Fan had great love for Chinese culture when she was young. She studied in the archaeology department in Peking University from 1958 to 1963. Then she started working at Dunhuang Academy and has worked there ever since. Fan spends her lifetime not only saving the invaluable treasures in Dunhuang but also introducing them to the world. Furthermore, after a 30-year period of hard work, Fan and her team have made a digital preservation system (数字保护系统)—“Digital Dunhuang”—including digital photo shooting, color correction, photo gallery and more. This may be one of the only effective methods to preserve the Mogao Grottoes. Until recently, the resource of “Digital Dunhuang” has enjoyed more than seven million visits from around the world on the Internet. In 2018, Fan earned the title of “Reform Pioneer over the 70-year history of New China” for her contributions to cultural preservation. On May 4, 2023, Fan Jinshi returned to Peking University and brought back 10 million RMB donations to set up the Fan Jinshi Education Fund (基金会) to support the research of Dunhuang Studies. “Money should be spent in the right way. People cannot only think of themselves,” she said. “Hopefully, the setting of the Fund can help Dunhuang Studies at university, so it can raise cultural confidence and strength.” 62. What can be inferred (推断) from the passage? A. Fan’s interest in archaeology came from her mother. B. Digital Dunhuang is very popular on the Internet. C. Fan set up a foundation to support Dunhuang Studies. D. Fan devotes her lifetime to environmental protection. 63. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A. What Fan did for preserving Dunhuang culture. B. When a digital preservation system was made. C. Why Fan took up archaeology as her career. D. How Fan Jinshi Education Fund was set up. 64. Which is the correct order of the following events? a.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了被誉为“敦煌女儿”的樊锦诗在保护莫高窟上所付出的努力和做出的贡献。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Until recently, the resource of ‘Digital Dunhuang’ has enjoyed more than seven million visits from around the world on the Internet.”可知，“数字敦煌”资源在互联网上已经吸引了来自世界各地的700多万人次访问，所以可推知，数字敦煌在互联网上非常流行。故选B。 【63题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第四段可知，本段主要介绍樊锦诗在保护敦煌文化中所做出的努力。故选A。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She studied in the archaeology department in Peking University from 1958 to 1963.

The other, Israel Hands, was injured and calling for rum. I drank the water and give Hands the rum.
